Favorite ball you never shot an honor score with?
« on: December 31, 2005, 04:51:04 AM »
Everybody's got a ball that's almost like magic.  You feel comfortable throwing it, and it seems to always find the pocket, trip 4's, kick 10's, carry light, everything, and when you're on, you can string strikes like crazy.  Most people with a ball like that usually shoot an honor score or two with the ball, but some people consistently score high with something, but just can't quite get it done.  My ball was the X-Factor.  High game of 286, high series of 781.  I've had the back 11 (opened the first, 279), front 10, and numerous other high games with it.  Retired it a couple weeks ago, fresh off the 781.  Its replacement, while I don't quite like it as much, has already gotten it done, lol.  With the Depth Charge (hooks less, and is smoother) in two weeks, I've had sets of 692, 693, 703, 733, and 755.  I have a 280 and a 300 on it already (plus the back 18 in the 300/755), and like I said, it just doesn't quite have the same feel, and I'm not quite as comfortable with it (yet, lol), but it's already got me a ring, something the X-Factor never did in the 3 years I've owned it.  Anybody else have a ball like this?

my Titan
many 700's
10 plus 279's
its my go to ball,most night I start with another ball only to shoot a bad first game then pull out the Titan and make a respectable series out of it.

never had a ring with it,but hopefully I can change that,always seems to find a way to the pocket.

Umm,

Easy Topic,I think???

Ya My Almost Magic Ball was,a Ebonite V2 StrongR that rasta colored
super ball looking dullish green/red,swirly ball man!I got lots of 600's
and like 3 or 4 low-low 700's,it seemed ok,just couldn't get the killer scores.
On some of the lighter SShots it can have a field day at pin Blasting,but noo
score over 210 on SS and on THS a 260ish,darn!!!! So I ended up giving it away,it was ok,I guess,thats my most recent ta memory..

next!

Mine would be the Tidal Wave(the second year model, with the ST II coverstock). I shot more 250+ games, and mid 700 series(and won more pot money) with that ball than any other. My high game with it was 269, and high series was 784(257,258,269). That ball was fun to throw. Never could get an honor score with that ball. I'd usually ping a couple of corner pins a game with it. I still miss that reaction.

El Nino Wrath for me. I've had a 280, 3 279's and a good 25 700's with that ball through the years, but no honor scores. Probably had 1,000 games on the ball when I threw my last 280 with it 2 years ago in a summer league.

Monster Frenzy.  Superior, consistent ball.

I would probably have to go with the AZO Armageddon... picked one up from Doug Sterner many moons ago (before he moved his proshop)...It was a great rolling ball.. didn't overreact like lots other equipment I had at the time.  I shot some great score in practice with it, but never put anything together in tournaments or leagues... hmmm
